Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
I was considering this same thing for my build, since I am in the "Too poor for Porterbuilt" parts club as well. Very nice to have this how-to guide, thanks a ton for the time you took, and are still taking, for the write-up.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
John, excellent write up. I used the same motor mount perches on my '63 frame. I just cut them down to fit the frame rail.

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
John thanks for the detailed write up and pics, already picked up a crossmember for this mod when I seen your first post on it, this will be a winter project and install in the spring when I rebuild the front suspension..

Re: HOW TO: Crossmember sectioning ...
Chief, after you section the crossmember do you go ahead and add 2.5" drop spindles ? or is this not possible after sectioning due to steering clearances....???? Kieth

A dropped spindle typically is cast with the spindle relocated, but the steering arm is in the 'stock' location.
